ReplyDeletereally man? wowww..
First i would just like to say that this, like all of your models, is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI know you do the modeling in 3ds max and autocad, but do you use a software to convert the 3d models into a pattern and if so what software do you use.
i posted a comment a couple hours ago but it didn't show up so if it just took a little while to register it and this is a second one saying pretty much the same thing then oops sorry at least now ill know for future reference
I congratulate you on your excellent work, it is a complicated but interesting model. I like his design.
ReplyDeleteIt has a very long axes distance to be one 6x6 I do not believe that it is more effective than a Striker...
You do a big work
@SuperBobKing
ReplyDeletewell mostly I used Autocad to unfold from 3d into 2d, jsut using my modular logic, n main concept of 3dimentional form but when I face with unusual shape I used pepakura, but still must to fix and adjustment
thanks for visiting
@jhonn moore
I think they're have a different concept , stryker it's on my list...need more mood lol
Thanks. i downloaded the trial version of pepakura today and minus a few things i need to figure out how to do its working pretty well. i should have some of my own models in no time. (Especially considering that i have quite a few digital models already that i have made in class when i should have been working.
ReplyDeleteDear Tekzo
ReplyDeleteI only just stumbled onto your site, and wow. I am very impressed, you sir, are good!
I was wondering, is this a hobby for you, or are these commissions?
